Poll: Up to 28% of federal workers may leave because of President Trump (Oh, goody)

According to a new poll conducted by GovExec.com
and the independent Government Business Council, 28 percent of federal
workers say they are or at least might be "considering leaving the
federal service" because of Donald Trump's election. This is actually up from 25 percent who said the same in February when asked about the possibility that Trump might be elected.
Fourteen percent said that yes, they are considering it, and the
same share said "maybe" they are. Of this combined 28 percent, just
over half said they are "eligible for retirement and [might] retire
earlier than planned," meaning they might be serious about this.
